Question: A vertically polarized photon is incident onto a polarizer with a transmission axis oriented an angle of 80? counter-clockwise from the horizontal.
a. What is the probability amplitude of the photon to go through the polarizer?
b. Now after the first polarizer put a second polarizer that has its transmission axis oriented 10? clockwise from the transmission axis of the previous polarizer.
i. What is the probability that an incident photon is transmitted through the two polarizers?
ii. If you add a third polarizer after the second one, what should be the orientation of its transmission axis so that no photon is transmitted.
